Windows icon SOLVED: congrats :-)

[Mr X]

Good effort! I had that one on the list of rants!

Maybe I should re-release my 15000 b/w icon postcard-ware hyperCard Icon
Library! HyperCard only... im not messing with a chef-oeuvre from my
HyperCard glory years!

Any amateurs?

BTW, what are those 16 colors in RGB?
I'll add a free palette!
